I'm not sure what you mean by recursivity, but I'm betting its
not what I mean by that term! :-)

I'm also not sure what you mean by GPS - to me that
means Global Positioning Satellite but I suspect you mean
something different?

Yes and any Python tutorial will explain how.

You can try the Modules and Functions topic in my
tutorial if you are not already reading another one.
[ If your first language is Spanish or Portuguese you
may prefer the translations in those languages better.
(But they are only available for Python v2) ]

Thats not legal python, it may just be a formatting error. Lets assume 
so, it would then look like:

def  function(Word):
     Word = Word
     Word= [Word]
     print (Word)


That creates a list containing the parameter passed in and
then prints it. It then throws it away.

>>> Word because it returns me an error!!!

That would depend on whether you created Word before you
called the function. I suspect you are confused about
Python variables, Python scope, and Python functions.

Read about those topics and then come back with any
further questions.
